If anyone plays a team that is in this Elite 8 without their best player...they lose. Chesapeake still wins the OVC without McMaster. They lose to Logan Elm, Ironton, Portsmouth, etc. without him. Chesapeake plays Ironton next week...if Peake is at full strength and Ironton is missing Carter or Fletcher and Peake wins, I'm not going to hop on here and talk about how Ironton is overrated. When your leader is gone, and I'm not just talking about points, it is a huge deal. Just ask Ohio State if they'd like to play Kansas again. Think the voters didn't take Sullinger into account when they only dropped the Buckeyes one spot?
Chesapeake lost, Logan Elm won. You play with the players that suit up. Fortunately, this isn't BCS football. These opinions will be replaced by won-lost records and advancements in the Districts and Regionals.
I watched Ironton before LE and Peake played, sorry unless Peake's star is this years Mr. Ohio they ain't beating Ironton, Ironton was very impressive and would have no problem beating LE or Peake at full strength. Peake is a nice team but Ironton is at a different level...in my opinion.
